My left knee is an elemental. Also plastic tubing, most chairs and Robert DeNiro.
Why wouldn't they take those forms?

2 wolves? I hope they don't count as 2 separate creatures...
some of the new screenshots look very nice. Though I can barely tell the difference between spring spirits, sisters and snow maidens on the goddamn map.
<speculation> from the cerberus description: Cerberi are servants of the Demon Overlord of Voracity. These two-headed fire breathing mastiffs outclass even the sabretooth tigers or dire wolves in size, speed and ferocity. </speculation>

completely unrelated, but I was thinking about some classical creatures such as the minotaur? why can't he be in the stronghold, since the faction is made of wizards' experiments? they would have fit perfectly instead of executionner / chieftain, and might also fit instead of panther warrior (though, the panther warrior looks pretty cool)

As much as I expect Minotaurs and Orcs would like eachother, think of the fans. Think of the rage it would cause if they cut classical creatures out of their classical environment. I fear that Minotaurs are as much part of Dungeon as the Dragons. In fact there are, along with dragons, no creatures that epitomise Dungeon as much as Minotaurs.
I do not think that will be a discision lightly forgiven.

I couldn't care less about Minotaurs being in the Dungeon or not, I'm unhappy about Minotaurs NOT being in the game at ALL

I'd hazard a guess that they're not there so they can be added as part of the dungeon in an expansion.

I've got a little Maths problem for anyone to solve:
It's been confirmed from Q&A's:
"There will be 8 bosses and 8 neutral creatures(Neutrals: 7 Elite, 1 Champion)"
"The Phoenix will be back as a neutral creature."
That = 7 NEUTRALS left
Cepheus wrote: "There are as many creatures whose name is suffixed "Elemental" in the game as the number of Elemental Dragons in Ashan."
ie. 6 elementals
That = 1 NEUTRAL left
We have a Wolf and a Mermaid creature, WHERE DO THEY FIT IN?
(Maybe Cepheus' word "suffixed" is the wobbly here )

And what if they simply added more neutrals in the meantime ?

Elemental bosses would also balance the equation. More likely though, they just used the 3 month delay to add a couple more neutrals among other things.
If you have a project with dedicated modellers and animators on the team, if the project has to be extended other reasons I doubt that these people just get to sit and twiddle their thumbs. I wouldn't be surprised at a couple of extra critters.

Hmm... Maybe we'll get extra faction?
Ok, ok, that was stupid.
"Mr" Elvin, please, tell us! Should we expect more new neutrals?

Quote: Okay then, let me correct myself ():
Instead of focusing on areas that are (nerdrage censored) in dire need of improvement, Ubihole added a pack of a hitherto unrevealed number of over-sized dogs, who are presumably coming in all sorts of colourings, with an additional number of themed doggies quite possibly available as part of an eventual DC pack. There. Happy, Elvin?
I am STILL disappoint.
Yeah as much as they reacted to the fanrage of no snow Or they actually like adding what they can?

Yes there is. BH added it just because even though it was not planned. In fact they have added plenty of arenas and different obstacles that were never really needed but are simply stunning to look at.
So saying that they just threw in a wolf model to shut the fans up is almost insulting. These guys enjoy working on the game, is that really hard to imagine? Their priorities have been questionable though, I'll give them that.

If Ubisoft were not sticking to their moronic info release policy there would have been less complaints. I can't say how much less but less for sure. Try to imagine that you are on our side of the fence - we are getting tiny bits of info which sometimes even turn to be incorrect, no matter how official they are and part of what we know - politely - does not speak well of those who decide what will be in the game and what won't. So if there is an insult, it's not intended and it's not our fault. Go blame the people in charge of the advertisement.

That'll be just SHOCKING ... still it would be a unique creatures and not a copy past re paint model so ..
wolves were in the barbarian lineup in heroes2 if my memory serves.
Anyway I join Elvin there , u get a bit more content with a new neutral so what is there to complain about ? that u get more than expected ? strange logic if u ask me
Ofc with a delayed release we can expect more features here and there... ubihole probably doesn t even know which will be so they didn t promise those extra , which is a reasonnable move.

Anyway, more neutrals are good news, although I never cared much for the wolf.
